Pale gold surfaces with Libertys portrait and the reverse wreath the sharpest features. Softness of detail to the date and mintmark are characteristic of this challenging issue, popular as the only New Orleans Mint delivery in the three-dollar gold series. The 1854-O is scarce in lower grades, very scarce in Choice AU and rare in Mint State, confirming the significance of this piece for the advanced gold collector.,PCGS# 7971. NGC ID: 25M5.,,
